2024 Request for Proposal: Implementation Of Lead Based Paint Hazard Inspection Program

The Town of Morristown is soliciting proposals for the implementation of a comprehensive lead-based paint hazard inspection program. This initiative requires experienced, state-certified lead-based paint inspector/risk assessors to conduct on-site surface-by-surface and room-by-room inspections, including visual and dust wipe analysis, of various rental dwellings every three years or upon tenant turnover, as mandated by P.L. 2021, Chapter 182, N.J.A.C. 5:28A, and local codes. The program aims to ensure compliance and identify hazards efficiently across 3000+ registered rental properties. Key responsibilities for the successful vendor include creating and maintaining property databases, managing tenant notifications, scheduling and performing inspections, all necessary record keeping and reporting to both the state and the Town, and developing educational materials. The vendor will also be responsible for collecting and remitting a state-mandated fee of $20 per inspected dwelling unit. The Town intends to award a two-year contract for these services. Proposals must be submitted to Jillian Barrick, Business Administrator, at the Town Offices by no later than 10:00 AM on Wednesday, August 21, 2024. Evaluation will consider responsiveness (30%), price (30%), and responsibility & experience (40%).
